I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a background in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I'm also a Child Mental Health Specialist and a Certified Group Psychotherapist. I specialize in helping families, adolescents, and men deal more effectively with difficulties in their important relationships, as well as with major transitions, identity issues, and personal growth.
I offer a variety of therapeutic and facilitated support groups, and I work particularly well with men and women seeking support and growth in the following areas: anger, assertiveness, and productive conflict; balancing emotional intimacy with healthy boundaries; integrity, self-esteem and empowerment; sustainable health and fitness lifestyles; mindfulness and Buddhist psychotherapy; and creativity and personal growth.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, compassionately direct, holistic, and grounded in my own experience of what actually works. In addition to being a therapist, I'm also a father and certified yoga teacher, and I'm a former boxing coach, Buddhist monk, Army Intelligence Analyst, carpenter, and Musician. I've lived a full life with many diverse experiences, and my way of practicing psychotherapy is a synthesis and an outgrowth of the particular gifts and wisdom that these experiences have given me.
I also have an office in Wallingford; feel free to ask about appointment availability there if the location is more convenient.
